FreeFileSync Forum

*.ffs_real is in C:\my scripts and C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync.

It's a *.ffs_batch in image 3. The home page manual and the RTS window say to import a batch file to get started.

xCSxXenon, you said previously:"I also noticed that the command you entered into the RTS configuration makes absolutely no sense. Take out the 'windows system32' section..". However, I said previously: ....C:\Windows\System 32 which xCSxXenon criticicised me for including, but I didn't create it ...

Thanks Plerry, killed 2 birds with one stone: renamed all the RTS and FFS files, now working perfectly. The cmd window still opens (it always did in my older version which worked perfectly), but without an error message, so I just close it. The sync starts automatically because I have the batch file ...

Just to clarify comments on IMAGE 1 - see attached IMAGE 5. The cmd window seems to be RealTimeSync, and right clicking on the task bar icon shows the error message in IMAGE 5. I have to close this and the cmd window to proceed. To get RTS to run, I then have to reopen RTS, I get the window in IMAGE ...

Sorry if it's not clear. Yes problem solved, RTS and FFS working OK and RTS runs normally from the batch file in the startup folder.

However, there is the annoying cmd window in IMAGE 1, which always came up in my old installation. It comes up with C:\Windows\System 32 which xCSxXenon criticicised ...

Unistalled 13.7, and deleted all RTS & FFS files, restarted & installed 13.7 donation edition. Working OK, now , can now access network drives and files and folders on them.

IMAGE 1 However, cmd window from previous install appears. I have tried sfc, chdsk, and DISM to no effect. There is no CMD ...

Thanks for your replies, Plerry & xCSxXenon. I've made a contribution & downloaded the donation edition. I'm going to start over, uninstall the previous edition, delete all FFS & RTS files, & install the donation edition. I'm not very tech savvy, but this is very useful software, & I really need an ...

ANY OTHER IDEAS ANYONE?
Further: I have tried the solutions here https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11538&hilit=network+drives#p44596 but to no effect. I have set RealTimeSync to run as an administrator, I have unmapped and remapped the network drive, re-entered the login and password ...

I should have mentioned that I can read and write to this drive in Windows Explorer.

I have just upgraded to 13.7 and I can longer access a mapped network drive in RealTimeSync. Attached are my RealTimeSync and FreeFIleSync windows and the error message I get from RealTimeSync. I have used UNC for the networked drives (WDMyCloudy) as advised elsewhere in these forums. It can access ...

I asked this question twice elswhere, but it didn't get answered:

The RealTimeSync icon in the taskbar has a message "Waiting until all directories are available". I'm currently syncing 2 PCs - I may want to sync 3 PCs in the future. Does this message mean that all 3 PCs would need to be on for ...

OK thanks for that, Zenju.

One more question: the RealTimeSync icon in the taskbar has a message "Waiting until all directories are available". I'm currently syncing 2 PCs - I may want to sync 3 PCs in the future. Does this message mean that all 3 PCs would need to be on for sync to occur, or will ...

What I cannot figure out from the manual or forum posts is this: when RealTimeSync is running there is a command window running with this text in it: C:\windows\System32>"c:\program files\freefilesync\RealTimeSync.exe" "c:\myscripts\MyRealTimeSyncSetup.ffs_real", and task manager shows the Windows ...

This is a great piece of software - just what I needed to keep two laptops in sync. I managed to set up automatic syncing with the help of mfreedberg, 25 Jan 2013, 23:19 in the Help forum and his/her very useful two scenarios.

I managed to set up suppression of the popup window with the help of ...
